Ray Meadows is gearing up to get old tractors spick and span.
The Ballan man is treasurer of Ballan District Vintage Machinery and Vehicle Club and works with 60 other blokes to restore old machinery, including trucks, tractors and shearing plants.
The club is holding its annual swap-meet next weekend so people can meet other like-minded enthusiasts, sell their old machinery and buy pre-loved parts.
“Some of the machines we restore are used only for demonstration,” Mr Meadows said. “But others we also use.”
The market will open at 7am on Saturday, March 4, at the Ballan racecourse, 285 Racecourse Road. Stalls cost $20 and entry is $5. Details: 5368 1177.
